Athletes of the Week - October 14, 2025

Female Athlete of the Week

Congratulations to our female athlete of the week!

The Ambrose Women's Captain's approach to preparing for the weekend was nothing short of focused and determined. Nichol's stewardship ensured that practices were intense, decisions were measured, and that her sisters were consistently held accountable.

Opponents were met with a fierce challenge each time they tried to breach the Lions' back line. The centre back left indelible impressions in the memories of all that saw Gracey captain our Lions through a split weekend against fierce competition.

Congratulations Gracey!

Male Athlete of the Week

Congratulations to our male athlete of the week!

Brady De Castro - MSOC

Third-year midfielder Brady de Castro has been a cornerstone of the Ambrose Lions men’s soccer program, anchoring the midfield with composure, leadership, and two-way excellence. A constant presence in both phases of play, Brady continues to be a creative attacking threat while serving as a strong defensive anchor.

This past weekend, De Castro was instrumental in guiding the Lions to their third undefeated double-game weekend of the season. On Saturday, he delivered the crucial game-winning assist to Gabe Mejia in the Lions’ 1–0 victory over Olds College. On Sunday, his relentless drive once again proved decisive — breaking through on a one-on-one opportunity late in the game with the Lethbridge goalkeeper, drawing a crucial foul and red card after being taken down just outside the box. Although the challenge forced him to leave the match with an injury, the ensuing free kick led to Isaiah McMahon’s stoppage-time equalizer, securing a dramatic 1–1 draw and preserving Ambrose’s third-place standing in the ACAC South Division.

De Castro's consistency, resilience, and willingness to put the team first embody the ethos of Ambrose Lions Men’s Soccer.

Congratulations Brady!
